nelson mandela lived for that ideal and he made it real. he achieved more than could be expected of any man. and today he's gone home. we've lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human being that any of us will know in the short time on this earth. he no longer belongs to us, he belongs to the ages. through his fierce dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom of others, madiba transformed south africa and moved all of us. his journey from a prisoner to a president embodied the promise that human beings and countries can change for the better. the commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who jailed him set an example that all humanity should aspire to whether in the lives of nations or our own personal lives. the fact he did it all with grace and good humor and the ability to acknowledge his own imperfections only makes the man that much more remarkable. once said i'm not a saint unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying. i am one of the countless million
